Red squirrel

The winter feeders are up in some of the west end woodlands, and red squirrels are taking full advantage! In several locations, people set up and maintain feeders all winter long, a very generous gesture as they pay for all the seed (and the feeders) out of their own pockets. Other people bring along cracked corn for wild turkeys and deer. And still others bring fruit for the deer. Wildlife reap the benefits of this generosity, and so do human visitors who enjoy seeing them.

Soooo cute that little red squirrel. They must be busy and feeding on the savings they bury during summertime. Do they ? As you mentioned, wildlife also benefit of people bringing some food. It's nice to hear that people think about wildlife and that wildlife might have a hard time during winter.
Very lovely picture, Christine.
